All indications suggest that the 15R is the worldwide version of the OnePlus Ace 6T, which recently debuted in China, even if the specifications are not yet fully official. If that’s the case, the OnePlus 15R might have two rear cameras and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 CPU, which goes on sale tomorrow.
The 15R colour possibilities for India, Charcoal Black and Minty Green, have also been confirmed by OnePlus. The phone will have IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, according to the manufacturer. That suggests a long-lasting value flagship that is shielded against high-pressure and high-temperature water jets in addition to dust and spills. For gamers, heavy multitaskers and those looking for long battery life, the 15R might be one of the most comprehensive Android updates of 2025 if the business applies the same Ace 6T specs.

Photography enthusiasts may notice a sacrifice in the Ace 6T’s 50MP primary and 8MP ultra-wide cameras, especially in light of the OnePlus 13R’s telephoto lens. The OnePlus 15R might be excellent news for consumers who value performance and battery life. With a large 8,000mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging, the Ace 6T is said to have the greatest battery life of any current Snapdragon flagship.
In addition to being the best in its class, the 8,000mAh battery would surpass all of the flagship models from OPPO, iQOO and other companies that have all made their debuts this year with increased battery sizes larger than 7,000mAh.
One of the bigger and more significant changes that could be made to the OnePlus 15R is this. Although it is a little slower than the OnePlus 15’s 120W, it is still among the fastest in the class. For comparison, a 6,000mAh battery that enabled 80W fast charging was included with the OnePlus 13R.

Those seeking a well-rounded, affordable flagship that prioritises gaming and endurance above photography may find the OnePlus 15R appealing. When comparing generations, the 15R appears to be a performance improvement over the 13R, sacrificing gaming and endurance for camera versatility. OnePlus’s goal for the R-series is rather simple: flagship-grade performance without flagship cost. The popularity of the predecessor demonstrated the efficacy of this approach.
